Submission + - Reporters at Black Hat get bounced for hacking (ap.org)

They must have been thinking "hmm.. this is Black Hat, so why not hack their ids and passords and stuff, and show them how pwned they are, right?".
Not so funny. At Black Hat, hacking is encouraged. Everywhere except the Press Room, apparently.
So the reporters, from the French magazine 'Global Security Magazine', apparently did the unthinkable — hack at Black Hat:
"The French journalists — identified by organizers as Dominique Jouniot, Marc Brami, Mauro Israel — apparently set up their own server to siphon off traffic passing through the media room's central router."
Once again, hacking is cool. Unless, of course, it's done at you, or where you don't want it to be done.
Right back at ya, Black Hat.
